A pretty fair estimate of the magnitude of
the national debt may be formed when the
fact is called to mind that, in a recent state

teen millions of dollars. When a clerk has
room for making a trifling error like that, it
may be assumed that the entire debt must be
moderately large.

Mltctiel 9 New Atlas,
We have lately been shown Mitchel'a New
General Atlas, which is undoubtedly the
mo6t accurate and comprehensive work of its
kind ever published. Every intelligent, read
ing man should have it, or a similar work al
ways at baud, Indeed no house, business
place, nor school-room should be without one.
A glance at its contents cannot fail to satisfy
any one of its itility. It contains county
maps of the States and Territories, with the
lines of all new and proposed Railroad routes
togetner, with maps of all the countries of j
the world, plans of cities, &c. A full list of
all the post offices in the United States and
Canada. The names, height and length, of
all the principal mountains and rivers of the
world. Population of the principal cities of
the world. The population, from the last
census, of each county in the United States.
A table ot distances and routes to and from
I the foreign ports and cities, and many other
valuable geographical and statistical matters.

officers and men of thu 143 d regiment will
meet at the hotel of Samuel Raub, in Kings
ton hollow. This being the anniversary of
the regiment leaving the camp, it is expected
to make it a pleasant gathering and it will, if
well attended, lead to the formation of a so
ciety that shall meet annually.
One company, at least, of 'he 143 d, was
from this coanty. Those who can do so,
should attend this reunion.
Tree Speech in Virginia.
The moral progress manifested by the
" God and morality party" in Virginia,
onght to satisfy the most fastidious. In
Mecklenburg county, it is graveiy an
nounced. a negro who can neither read nor
write, aud who has been convicted five
times in the courts for stealing, was elected
over a respectable white " union" man.—
And this, we are assured, is by no means
an isolated case, hut a eommon occurrence.
Facts have recently Come to light, says a
correspondent from Richmond, showing
that the Mongrel leaders, not satisfied with
having everything their own way at the
polls, have actually gone so far as to influ
ence if not assist in the formation of a ne
gro vigilance committee for the purpose of
intimidating and threatening white people.
A respectable, hard working man, named
Monroe, originally from the State of Maine,
had the boldness to denounce llunnicut and
his gang, and this id the result: He is
ordered to pack up and leave the city, and
if he chooses, he may take his family. Mr.
M. is a quiet, industrious, and honest citi
zen, esteemed by all his acquaintances, and
he has the nerve to defy the black apes al
though they are led on by some of the
meanest whites that ever disgraced human
ity. Mr. Newdecker, who carries on a
large tobacco manufactory, also received a
note from the vigilance committee, to leave
the city because he had the temerity to dis
charge some of his lazy, impudent negroes,
who would not work themselves nor allow
others to do so. The following is the or
der of the negro vigilance Committee sent
to several leading citizens :
RICHMOND, VA., Oct 23. 18G7.
We the colored people of the city of
Richmond, having formed a vigilance com
mittee, warn yon to leave the city in forty
eight hours after receiving this notice. We
are aware of your bostiltiv towards Mr
Hunnicutt and his political party. If your
farnilv choose to go with you they can do
so. or they ran remain ; we will not inter
fere with them. If you do not heed this
warning you will have to abide by the con
sequences. Alter you have spoken of Mr.
Hunnicutt as you have, we are fully deter
mined that you shall leave the city at the
expiration of the time given yoa.
By order of the committee,
T. B. Secretary.
Thurlow Weed on Mrs. Lincoln.
The letters of Mrs. Lincoln, and her of
fer to sell her clothes and gew-gaws have
called out the radical press generally on
the domestic " situation" of the widow of
the " late lamented." Some of the news- !
papers say unkind things of her, and as
sign as a reason that she did not behave
herself as the President's wife should do
One of these papers is ungracious enough
to mention the forty big boxes that left
the White House with Mrs, Lincoln, and
another charges her with selling eleven of
Mr. Lincoln's shirts before his body, which
had the twelfth one on, had reached its I
last resting place. As a sample of what is J
said of her and her conduct, we publish t
the following from Thurlow Weed's Com- ;
raercial Advertiser, (Republican,) Oct. 4th:
" We have never approached a question
with half the sorrow that this one awakens.
To vindicate, shield, and protect " Heaven's
best gift to man," is a grateful duty, while
to even reprove, and much more to assail
a woman, is painful, and if without a per
fect justification, unmanly.
If the American Congress or the Ameri
can people havo failed to meet the pecuni
ary expectations of Mr. Lincoln's widow,
it is because that personage failed, during
his life and after his death, to inspire either
with respect or confidence. They should
not, therefore, be subjected to the reproach,
or rest under the imputation cf ingratitude.
Had Mrs. Lincoln, when in power, borne
herself becomingly, the suggestion of a
Lincoln Fund by voluntary contributions,
would have been promptly responded to.
The national heart was warm. It gushed
out in liberal endowments for Grant and
Farragut. It would as cheerfully met the
appeal in favor of Mrs. Lincoln if it had
not intuitively closed and chilled.
In her conversations Mrs, Lincoln is
represented as bitterly denouncing Secre
tary Sewar l, for which, of course, there is
no warrant or excuse, for he wrongs no
man, and much less is he capable of injus
tice, wrong or even uukindness to woman.
But we happen to know—the late Ca
leb 15. Smith, then Secretary of the Inte
rior, being our informant—a fact which in
censed Mrs. Lincoln against Mr. Seward.
The President gave the Prince Napoleon
a dinner, for which Mrs. Lincoln sent to
the Secretary of the Interior for payment
of a bill of some $990. This demand,
though wholly illegal, coming from the
President's wife, embarrassed the Secreta
ry, who called on the Secretary of State for
advice, where he learned that Mr. Seward
had also dined the Prince, having the
same number of guests, and giving them a
duplicate of the dinner at the White House.
In fact, Mr. Seward ordered both dinners
from the same restaurant, and by his own
bill knew the cost of each For what Mr.
Seward paid S3OO, Mrs. Lincoln demanded
S9OO.
But whether three or nine hundred the
claim was illegal, and could not be paid.
For this, however, Mrs. Lincoln quarrelled
with Secretaries Smith and Seward. This
amount, however, was subsequently cover
ed up in a gardner's account, but occasion
ed scandal, which respect for Mr. Lincoln
measurably suppressed.
Though Mr. Lincoln left an estate which
enabled his family to live quite as comfort
ably as they had ever lived, Congress and
the people would have promptly and munifi
cently provided for them, if Mrs. Lincoln
herself, with every advantage that high po
sition gave her, had made friends or in
spired respect. And this last exhibition
proves how instinctively right the popular
estimate of her character was.
The fact for which Mrs. Lincoln seeks
large publicity, namely, that she received
presents valued at $24,000, is a pregnant
and suggestive one—suggestive, at least,
of offices and contracts, unless the more
charitable construction is reached through
the assumption that they were expressions
of regard and friendship. But it is not
known that the wife of any President, how
ever estimable, was so loaded with shawls,
laccs, furs, diamonds, rings, Ac.
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
By the President of the United States*
A. PROCLAMATION. •
In conformity to a recent custom that
now may be regarded as established by na
tional consent and approval, I, Andrew
Johnson, President of the I'mted States, do
recommend to my fellow citizens that Thurs
day, the 28th day of November, be set
apart and observed throughout the Repub
lic as a day of National Thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty Ruhr of Nations,
with whom are dominion an 1 power, and
who maketh peace in His High places.—
Ke'sting and refraining from secular labors
on that day, let us reverently and devoutly
give thanks to our Heavenly Father for
the mercies and blessings with which lie
has crowned the now closing year. Espe
cially let us remember that He has favored
our land with greatly needed and very
abundant harvests, that He has caused in
dustry to prosper not only in our fields but
also in our workshops, in our mines and in
our forests. He has permitted ns to multi
ply shins upon our lakes, and rivers, and
upon the high seas, and at the same time
to extend our iron roads so far into the se
cluded places of the continent, as to guar
antee speedy over land intercourses be
tween the two oceans. lie hu3 inclined
our hearts to turn away from domestic
contentions and commotions consequent
upon a distracting and desolating civil war,
and to walk more and more in the ancient
ways of loyalty, conciliation and brotherly
love. He has blessed the peaceful efforts
with which we have established new and
important commercial treaties with foreign
nations, while we have at the same time
strengthened our national defense and
greatly enlarged onr national borders.
While thus rendering the unanimous and
heartfelt tribute of national praise and
thanksgiving, which is so justly due to Al
mighty God, let us not fail to implore Him
that the divine protection and care
which we have hitherto so undeservedly
and yet so constantly enjoyed, may be con
tinued to our country and our people thro'-
out all their generations forever.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my band and caused the seal of the United
btates to he affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this
20th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1867, and of the independence of the
United States the ninety-second.

The Virginia Elections.
FRAUD AND VIOLENCE — A REIUN OF
TERROR AT THE POLLS. —The following
extracts from the Virginia papers show
how the election was conducted:
We are in receipt of reliable intelligence
from the neighboring counties which un
questionably establishes the fact that there
(at least the late election) was the most
utter farce ever played within the limits of
a pretended fee country. Our information
comes authenticated with the names of per
fectly responsible and widely known gen
tlemen, and we unhesitatingly endorse its
truth.
At Sturdevant's shop, in Prince George
County, the negroes attended the polls
armed almost to a man with United States
rifles and pi.-tols, and assumed complete
control of affairs.
At Poplar Mount Precinct, in Greens
ville, and at Hicksford, in the same county,
a similar state of affairs obtained, and many
voters thereby deterred from casting their
suffrages. At each of these places it was
perfectly impossible for a colored man to
vote the Conservative ticket.
At Henry Precinct, in Sussex, the Rad
icals assembled in heavy force, all armed,
and exercised violent supervision of tbe
voting.
At Smoky Ordinary, in Brunswick Co.,
an armed negro stood at tbe entrance lead
ing to the colored poll, and notified each
voter as he passed that a Conservative vote
would insure his death.
At Brunswick Court ITouse there had
been collected a number of guns in posses
sion of the countv. Just previous to tbe
election they were seized by order of Lieu
tenant Kimball, the military officer com
manding in that locality, who bad them
cleaned ar.d distributed with ammunition,
among the negroes. The result was the
same of course as related of other places.
Many whites were deterred entirely from
seeking the polls, and no negro was al
lowed to enter any but a Radical ticket.—
In all these cases except the last, the arms
in the hands of the negroes are reported to
have been those of the government, and
mostly new.— Petersburg Index,
Eankruptcy,
The following from the Allentown Dem
ocrat, will be interesting to those who have
been unfortunate in business and who in
tend taking the benefit of the bankrupt law :
It must be remembered by ail unfortu
nate business men that if they desire to
take the benefit of the present Bankrupt
law they mu-t do so the first year of its
existence; for after the expiration of one
year from the oate of its approval, no debt
or can avail himself of Ibe advantage of
freeing himself from the debt by the pro
visions of ll is law, evcept he pays 70 pt r
cent, of all he owes. Remember this and
remember too that no Bankrupt law has
ever remained unrepealed for a period of
over two years, and that it has always ta
ken more than 20 years to get a Bankrupt
law passed. This law is very favorable to
the debtor. It allows him sßoo exempt,
which by a lib ral appraisement is equal to
SIOOO or *I2OO. Think of it! Here is
an opportunity given to every honest, hut
unfortunate trader, to free himself from
debt and start the world anew ! If after
taking the benefit, a man should make him
self a fortune, he can pay his former cred
itor in full, if lie desires to do so just as
well as if he never had been legally ab
solved from his debts; then, why should not
a man avail hitneif of the law ? It is wis
dom to do so, It is a duty every insolvent
man owes to himself and his family, and if
he neglects it, it may be with regret all the
days of his life.
A Word to Bondholders.
The bondholders of Lehigh county were
assured that the election of Judge Shars
wood would be equivalent to repudiation.
Well, he has bt-en elected, and that result
has been announced to the country. Not
only that, but the Democrats carry Ohio,
and make enormous gains in Indiana and
lowa. What has been the effect on boDds/
Gold has gone down and bonds have gone
up in proportion. Tbe shrewd financiers
of the cities know that with the approach
ing complete triumph of the Democratic
party the Union w ill be restored, trade and
commerce re established cn a firm and
prosperous basis, the industry of the South
revived, economy and reform inaugurated
in every department of the government,
and the national debt rapidly paid off.—
With ev> iv new triumph of the Democrat
ic party gold will go down and tbe value
of bonds increased. That is certain to be
the result Let the bondholders remem
ber the lies which were told them when
they come to vote again, and, if they do
not desire repudiation, let them vote the
Democratic ticket. So surely as the rad
icals are encouraged in their mad schemes
so surely will repudiation come eventually.
The only hope for bondholders is in a
change of parties and political policy.—
Allentown Democrat.
Important Decision by the Supreme Court.
It has been decided by the Pennsylva
nia Supreme Court, that drawing a check
| on a bank in which the drawer has no funds,
and utteiing it, is fraud, both on the per
! son to whom it is negotiated and on the
■ bank. Case ot Peterson vs. Union Nation
lal Bank. Jt is fraud in the holder of a
! cheek to present it for payment, when he
1 knows the drawer has no funds in the bank
to meet it. The holder of a cheek deposit
-1 ed it in the bank on which it was drawn,
j knowing that the drawer had no funds to
meet it; it was passed to the holder's
credit and charged against the drawer.—
Held, that this was not payment of the
check by the bank, that the holder could
not recover the amount from the bank.—
This decision is of importance to a class of
! persons who are in the habit of " kiting"
I checks, giving " memorandum" checks da-
I ted ahead. All such practices are fraud
under this decision, and if the checks so
uttered are not stamped as promissory
I notes they are also in violation of the Uni
! ted States Internal Revenue laws. Per
sons wiia arc guilty of drawing checks
when they have no funds in bank very
! soon lose their credit, and have their ac
1 counts closed by the banks, and may con
, sider themselves lucky if they escape pros
■ ccution for fraud.
